Abstract

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare, non-hereditary form of congenital local gigantism characterised by enlargement and hypertrophy of all mesenchymal tissue components with a disproportionate increase in adipose tissue. This form of macrodactyly has been reported in association with other anomalies including polydactyly, brachydactyly, syndactyly, and symphalangism. We describe a previously unreported case of bilateral upper extremity macrodystrophia lipomatosa with syndactyly in a 23-month-old boy. In this report, we emphasise the importance of establishing a diagnosis with imaging and review the described surgical approaches to treating this difficult condition.
